So, the Vote Norrell campaign is going to kick into full swing this month.
With it will come: subtle smear campaigns, the publishing of a book (not truly written by him, but written with a lot of input to express his opinions) to coincide and get him more publicity, split reactions and one very scathing review of said book by a rival...
And, of course, drama.
With Norrell looking to be re-elected, and possibly to crack down more than ever (small rumours suggest he wants to make it illegal to aid and abet anyone breaking dark magic laws more categorically too, after the Bromley surprise), it seems a good time for people to try and put a stop to him -- before he does any more damage.
So, gather around folks! Your boss battle draws near!
You will need:
Means. Norrell is generally not a person to walk about on his own in dangerous places. He keeps to himself in his private house or in the Night Council headquarters as much as possible, so insider help may be required. He's also a powerful witch in his own right, and as much as Childermass may find him annoying he will do his best to protect him. Preferably, I would like Norrell to be vanished away in an uncertain manner which means he can re-appear one day if need be -- thus, trapped in a mirror realm, shadow realm, The Other Realm, something mysterious that makes him go away with it being ambiguous what happened and if he could have possibly survived. As flashy or non-flashy as the caster likes! His canon fate is Pillar of Darkness which is entirely dramatic and includes a Chaos of Ravens too. Personally I think a little drama could be fun! Opportunity. A political event, perhaps? Public, if the caster wanted to make a point? Private, if someone wanted to trick him into inviting him somewhere and offering campaign help? Planning. With the likelihood that more than one person wants this guy gone, there should be a good way to gather people together too! The more the merrier, as they say. Contingency. Let us all bear in mind the consequences too! If he isn't assuredly dead you can't be tried for killing a witch, but attacking a Night Council member is definitely still bad. If you don't want to face a consequence be sure you plan carefully to not get caught!. Time. It doesn't have to happen this month, of course, it could be late May even before the final strike! So plan time carefully, and bear in mind there may be curve balls along the way.
I will happily DM people investigating things to further this! If you want to try and break into his house, find his schedule, etc, I will help provide the log for you to try! I'd like to keep an element of chance so things are fun, so not everything is auto-win, but the end game is still getting him gone so I will on your side to help that happen!
